The Transfer Tavern

Ex-Tottenham ace set to resist lure of Manchester United?

BBC Sport have managed to get the majority of the Manchester United fans here in the Football Transfer Tavern sitting up and taking note as they seem to think that Gareth Bale is ready to dig his heels in and stay at Real Madrid.

After the Spanish side’s exit from the Champions League, Bale was once again blamed for their issues, and we think that while the forward was hardly great, he was not the worst Real player out there and the fans have very short memories, given he was the one who scored a great solo goal to help them in the Copa last season, not to mention his performance in the Champions League final.

Manchester United and just one of a few clubs linked with the player and we think they will get their man – but not this summer and it seems Bale is thinking the same thing, claiming that he will come back stronger after the Juventus disaster.

Manchester United fans. Would you be able to restore Bale’s confidence and see him back to his very best or do you think that he isn’t actually that good when under pressure? Let us know your thoughts below.
